Ling Xueyan gave a half-smile. "That's better than death, isn't it?"

"And I don't think he's interested in treating me like a plaything."

King Xia's face froze. If Ling Xueyan agreed to be Qin Feng's maid, he would most likely die here today.

The best option now is for him to escape before Ling Xueyan agrees.

However, it wasn't that easy for him to escape.

The four women, Lan Qin and her companions, were not to be trifled with; they would react immediately should he make any move.

"Ling Xueyan, are you sure you really want to be this boy's maid?"

King Xia stared directly at Ling Xueyan, his face dark and terrifying.

Ling Xueyan sneered. "You're not a three-year-old, how could you ask such a childish question?"

"Or are you saying you have the ability to threaten me?"

"Heh, anyone can be shameless," King Xia sneered, then looked at Qin Feng. "Young friend Qin, I am willing to submit to you!"

"I have only one condition: kill Ling Xueyan!"

Ling Xueyan's expression changed slightly, and she quickly looked at Qin Feng. If Qin Feng agreed, it would mean that her death was imminent.

Qin Feng glanced at King Xia and said sarcastically, "You're just a decrepit old man, I wouldn't even look at you!"

"However, if you can show me some sincerity that will move me, I might reluctantly accept you!"

Ling Xueyan was initially very worried, but after hearing what he said next, she breathed a sigh of relief.

It's obvious that Qin Feng has no intention of accepting Xia Wang, otherwise he wouldn't have said such a thing.

Qin Feng had just inspected the Xia King's storage ring not long ago. If there were any treasures that could tempt Qin Feng, he would have taken them long ago.

In other words, the King of Xia had no treasures that could impress Qin Feng.

King Xia's face was extremely ugly as he glared at Qin Feng. "Boy, do you really think you've got me cornered?"

"You're afraid of Ling Xueyan self-destructing, but aren't you afraid of me self-destructing?"

“My strength is above Ling Xueyan’s, and the power of my self-destruction is greater than hers.”

Qin Feng chuckled. "You can talk about it when you have the chance to self-destruct!"

"Maids, let's get started!"

Upon hearing this, Lan Qin and the other three women immediately launched an attack on King Xia. Their offensive was extremely fierce, completely suppressing King Xia.

We can only defend; there's no opportunity to retaliate for the time being.

Qin Feng smiled mockingly. "Nonsense! You threaten me with self-destruction all the time, you idiot!"

Self-destruction requires time to accumulate energy. If you don't give yourself the opportunity, even if you manage to self-destruct successfully, the power won't be very strong.

Ling Xueyan's face turned pale. At this moment, she realized that her attempt to self-destruct might not be successful.

However, she didn't understand why Qin Feng would propose to take her in as a maid if he had the ability to stop her from self-destructing.

He was attracted to her beauty? She thought it was unlikely.

Qin Feng was never short of beautiful women around him, including Lan Qin, Yan Feifei, and Song Yuqing, all of whom were beautiful and had great figures.

Even if Qin Feng wanted to satisfy his physical needs, he wouldn't need her at all.

After observing the battle for a while and confirming that King Xia had no chance to self-destruct, Qin Feng turned his attention to Ling Xueyan.

Have you thought it through?

Ling Xueyan sighed softly, her expression sorrowful. "If I want to live, I have no other choice!"

"Qin Feng, I hope you will keep your promise and not kill me!"

She was now filled with deep regret. If she had known this would happen, she would never have implicated Meng Heyuan in the first place.

In this way, she wouldn't provoke Qin Feng, and they could even form an alliance.

"Don't worry, I, Qin Feng, keep my word and don't stoop to lying!"

Qin Feng curled his lip. "Relax your mind, I'm going to cast a soul-binding spell on you."

Ling Xueyan sighed bitterly, then relaxed.

She was well aware of the Soul-Sealing Technique; once it took effect, her life or death would be in Qin Feng's hands.

Unless her cultivation level surpasses Qin Feng's by two major realms in the future, or a super-powerful expert helps her remove the Soul-Binding Technique, she will have to obediently submit to Qin Feng's commands for the rest of her life.

Qin Feng used a soul-sealing technique to control Ling Xueyan, then smiled and said, "Come here!"

Upon hearing this, Ling Xueyan obediently walked up to Qin Feng and respectfully asked, "Master, what are your orders?"

Qin Feng chuckled wickedly. "Turn around!"

Ling Xueyan frowned slightly. Although she didn't understand what Qin Feng wanted to do, she still turned her back to him.

"Smack!"

Qin Feng raised his hand and slapped Ling Xueyan across the buttocks. "You killed my follower, how could I possibly let you off so easily?"

After saying that, he slapped Ling Xueyan on the buttocks again.

Ling Xueyan was furious, but she had to suppress her anger. Qin Feng at least didn't intend to kill her, so she dared not provoke him with her words.

Seeing that Ling Xueyan remained silent, Qin Feng continued to slap her repeatedly.

Ling Xueyan gritted her teeth and endured it, but Qin Feng showed no sign of stopping. Finally, she couldn't hold back any longer and shouted angrily, "Have you had enough?"

Qin Feng gave a half-smile. "You killed my men, so what if I slap your ass?"

"Or do you want to pay with your life?"

Ling Xueyan's face darkened, and she coldly snorted, "Death is preferable to humiliation!"

Qin Feng sneered. "Don't worry, I won't kill you!"

But I'll make you wish you were dead!

"You just watch quietly for now, and I'll deal with you after I've dealt with King Xia!"

After saying that, Qin Feng turned around and rushed towards King Xia.

Ling Xueyan was so angry she felt like vomiting blood; she really wanted to die.

But she cannot die yet; she still needs to avenge the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion.

On the other side.

With Qin Feng's arrival, King Xia's situation became even more precarious.

He was already seriously injured when he was completely suppressed by the four women, Lan Qin.

Now that Qin Feng has joined the group, he's like a ball, being bounced around by Qin Feng and his group of five.

They wouldn't even have a chance to catch their breath, let alone self-destruct.

His injuries worsened rapidly, and in less than a minute, Qin Feng punched him to the ground, rendering him completely powerless and unable to move.

King Xia glared at Qin Feng and said with difficulty, "Boy, I am one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Dark Dragon Palace. If you kill me, it's the same as..."

Qin Feng sneered. "So, you're determined to fight the Dark Dragon Palace to the death?"

"Didn't I already become an enemy of the Dark Dragon Palace?"

"Even if I don't kill you, do you think the Dark Dragon Palace will become my friend instead of my enemy?"

"Don't be naive. Even if the Dark Dragon Palace wants to turn my enemies into friends, I have no interest in making peace with them."

"Since its establishment, the Dark Dragon Palace has been opposing the Dragon Kingdom. As a citizen of the Dragon Kingdom, how could I allow such a villainous force as the Dark Dragon Palace to exist?"

"Enough with the small talk, it's time to send you on your way!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than Qin Feng released a fireball and threw it at King Xia.

In the blink of an eye, King Xia was engulfed in flames, letting out a heart-wrenching scream.

But it didn't last long before it came to an abrupt end, its life cut off.

In less than half a minute, the Xia king was burned to ashes, which scattered with the wind.

At this moment, Qin Feng turned to look at Ling Xueyan and said with a mischievous smile, "Come here!"
